RIP Keith Crisco

He ran against Clay Aiken.

The race was considered too close to call, but Aiken was ahead of Crisco by 369 votes. Both candidates were awaiting word from Tuesday’s official canvass before determining how to proceed.

I am suspending all campaign activities as we pray for his family and friends.
